With the Age of Discovery expansion, you can no longer swing over to the slums of Freeport (e.g. Longshadow Alley) and enter the sewers from them. Almost all access to the slums is gone, with them only open during specific quests such as racial quests.

If you're in the Commonlands, you can access The Thieve's Way near the gates to the City of Freeport-West at loc -1,251.30, -83.82, 119.95. If you're like me, then you can bypass having to go to the Sprawl to go to the Serpent's Sewer in order to reach The Thieve's Way.

Once you're inside the sewer, the grates that lead to the City of Freeport will be in the same general area; North, South, East, West.

The Commonlands is located to the west of Freeport. It is a large outdoor zone which features many varieties of wildlife. It is home to the outpost known as the Crossroads and host to numerous dungeons.

Public Quest

At the Siege Lands in The Commonlands around -1302, -78, -279 level 20 players can participate in a public quest. Higher level players can mentor down to be able to participate!

Bells

With GU56 the bells on the Commonlands Dock have been consolidated. There are Mariner's Bells for tranvel to Freeport Zones and the evil Tier 3 Guild hall; all other bells have been replaces with a World Bell with service to everywhere.

Thieves' Way

As of Age of Discovery, from The Commonlands, you can head to The Thieves' Way through a sewer grate located at -1,251.30, -83.82, 119.95 , just slightly south of The City of Freeport gates. Once inside the sewer the grates leading to East, North, South and West Freeport will be nearby.
